Ok engine swap guys, i need to pick your brain:
oil pan: I have a 1970 LeMans Sport with the original 350 Pontiac TH350 combo and I am looking to swap in a 73-74 455 out of a Catalina 4 door. Can I use the oil pan off of the 455? will it fit the chassis of my A body?
Dipstick tube: The dipstick tube on the 455 was longer because the car had A/C, mine doesn't, the tube is 2 piece can I just take off the top piece and use the existing dipstick tube?
Engine mounts: from the research I have gathered from previous posts, I do not have to change frame or engine mounts correct? why did they have different ones for 455's then?
I really appreciate the feedback guys, this was an impromptu swap (see the article on Ram Air Restoration Exhaust)
Thanks!!
